An electrically controlled spectacle includes a spectacle frame and optoelectronic lenses housed in the frame. The lenses include a left lens and a right lens, each of the optoelectrical lenses having a plurality of states, wherein the state of the left lens is independent of the state of the right lens. The electrically controlled spectacle also includes a control unit housed in the frame, the control unit being adapted to control the state of each of the lenses independently.

The present technique relates to an image processing apparatus and an image processing method capable of generating a color image of a display viewpoint using a color image and a depth image of a predetermined viewpoint. The viewpoint generation information generation unit generates viewpoint generation information used to generate a color image of a display viewpoint in accordance with a generation method of the color image of the display viewpoint obtained by performing warping processing using multi-viewpoint corrected color images and multi-viewpoint depth images. The multi-viewpoint image encoding unit encodes the multi-viewpoint corrected color images and the multi-viewpoint depth images, and transmits them with the viewpoint generation information. The present technique can be applied to, for example, a multi-viewpoint image processing apparatus.

The present disclosure overcomes the limitations of the prior art by providing 3D compression (i.e., compression that also accounts for changes in depth), including 3D compression of video sequences. In one aspect, depth information is obtained by processing captured images from a multi-aperture imaging device. The availability of IR images and depth information facilitates additional processing compared to when only color images are available.

A handheld dimensioning system that analyzes a depth map for null-data pixels to provide feedback is disclosed. Null-data pixels correspond to missing range data and having too many in a depth map may lead to dimensioning errors. Providing feedback based on the number of null-data pixels helps a user understand and adapt to different dimensioning conditions, promotes accuracy, and facilitates handheld applications.

Example embodiments may allow for the efficient determination of disparity information for a stereo image pair by embedding pixels of the image pair in a multidimensional dimensional vertex space. Regularly-spaced vertices in the vertex space are associated with pixels of the stereo image pair and disparity loss functions are determined for each of the vertices based on disparity loss functions of the associated pixels. The determined vertex-disparity loss functions can be used to determine vertex disparity values for each of the vertices. Disparity values for pixels of the stereo image pair can be determined based on determined vertex disparity values for respective one or more vertices associated with each of the pixels. The determined pixel disparity values can be used to enable depth-selective image processing, determination of pixel depth maps, mapping and/or navigation of an environment, human-computer interfacing, biometrics, augmented reality, or other applications.

The present application proposes a display method, including determining a current display mode of a display at a display end, wherein the current display mode is one of at least two display modes, and each mode indicates definition information related to resolution of an image to be displayed, obtaining multiple current frame color images of a scene through multiple image acquisition devices at the acquisition end, determining current frame depth maps at the locations of at least three image acquisition devices, so as to obtain current frame depth information for the scene, generating left-eye and right-eye viewpoint maps corresponding to human eye positioning coordinate data based on the current frame depth information, the current frame color images obtained through the at least three image acquisition devices and the human eye positioning coordinate data, and synthesizing the generated left-eye viewpoint map and the right-eye viewpoint map into a three-dimensional image.
